To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, OLE J. citizen of the United States, residing atFrederic, in the county of Polk and State of Wisconsin, have inventedcertain new and needful Improvements in Combination rIables an is aspecification.

This invention relates to kitchen furniture and the main object is toprovide an eiiicient, practical and novel construction of combinationtable and ironing board, in which the latter is slidably mounted andsecured in the former. Further objects will be disclosed in the courseof the following speciiication and are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in which; f

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, Z designates the legs ofa table having a top'8, side boards 9 and an end board 11. An ironingboard 11a is slidably mounted in a slot 12 in the end The inner end ofthe vboard is provided with a transverse brace 13 whose ends slidablyengage between two strips l'fixed on the `secured under the end of thetable inner sides of the side boards 9. The lower strips 14 are providedwithnotches 15 into which the ends of the brace 13 may-fall when theboard isextended its full length. Two small catches or levers 16 arepivotally top 8 and are adapted to be turned under and squeezed inbetween `the table top and the ironing board when the latter has beenfully vextended and the brace 13 has dropped into the notches 15, thusfirmly securing the in-` ner end ofthe board in a rigid manner .to

the table.
